Shelf Life Poem by Ferdinando Paparella

Shelf Life



Plastic swipes of magnetic stripes
will wipe dry blood drained
from the veins of those responsible
for the death of change
and the birth of a war between races
where brothers use laces to
hang one another as well as themselves
in houses of God
suicidal stability that donates a
channel to discover
this fabricated life is all just a fire
about to expire
in a forest known as existence.
